Jackson Walker labor and employment lawyers try labor and employment lawsuits, counsel clients on increasingly complex workplace laws and regulations, and represent clients before federal, state, and local labor and employment agencies, such as the NLRB, the EEOC, and OSHA.
Their litigation practice includes complex executive compensation matters, class/collective actions, trade secret/unfair competition cases, breach of fiduciary duty and executive malfeasance cases.
